Trees that are too close to power lines can cause interruptions in service and put people in danger.

Storms bring down trees and limbs onto power lines, which can cause outages and create hazardous conditions like fires. Even in good weather, a tree growing too close to power lines can endanger lives.

You can help by planting trees more than 30 feet away from power lines.
